Piercing the Veil of Reality

How Can We Heal This Polarized World? | TCM #130 (Part 1)

Laura and Bernhard discuss how we can heal this polarized world by being the ones who can hold the tension of opposites. They talk about how it relates to shadow work and individuation, the dangers of identifying with one polarized, and more.

HOW CAN WE HEAL THIS POLARIZED WORLD

The polarization in the world seems to be increasing exponentially.
Right and Left.
Liberal and Conservative.
Good and evil.
You see this polarization everywhere, and it seems to be heating up by the day.

People are becoming more extreme and dogmatic in their positions.

At the same time, they project their shadow onto the other side, blaming them for everything that is wrong with the world and showing a complete lack of respect for anyone who thinks differently to them.

In the midst of this increasing polarization, there is a group of people who are not identifying with either side. These people are, in Carl Jung's words, “holding the tension of opposites”.

Carl Jung felt that holding the tension of opposites was necessary on the path of individuation (becoming whole) and in the process of shadow work.

The most important thing to understand is that the opposites are within yourself. You have both sides within you, good and evil, light and dark, and dare I say, a liberal and conservative side.

Instead of identifying with one side of the opposites and projecting the “bad” side onto the world and other people, he suggested that if you can hold the tension and acknowledge both sides within you, a third thing will emerge.
That third thing is the growing of consciousness.

Holding the tension of opposites also involves necessary suffering. It requires an ability to hold paradox and a willingness to embrace nuance. This process will create internal friction, which is what generates the energy to create a third thing.

It’s much easier to identify with one side—usually the side that’s “good”—while you project onto the other side everything that is “bad”. This is what most people in the world do, by default.

It’s not comfortable to hold the tension of the opposites and embrace paradox, hence, this process is not for everyone.

Yet, Jung felt it was so important that a certain number of people hold this “tension of opposites” that he felt it could be the only thing that would prevent an incoming global catastrophe that could destroy civilization as we know it.

“People often asked Dr. Jung
"Will we make it?" referring to the cataclysm of our time. He always replied, "If enough people will do their inner work." This soul work is the one thing that will pull us through any emergency.”

ROBERT A. JOHNSON
OWNING YOUR OWN SHADOW

The world seems to have split into two distinct versions of reality and two opposing timelines.

Yet, if enough people can hold the tension of the opposites within themselves; it could create a third timeline, a third way, which could eventually emerge from the irreconcilable opposition of the two.
